Desire takes a dangerous turn in David Cronenberg’s controversial Cannes classic Crash, playing for a limited time at The Frida Cinema in April for its 30th anniversary!
In Crash, James Spader plays a film producer drawn into a secretive subculture after a near-fatal car accident. Alongside his wife (Deborah Kara Unger), he encounters a group of outsiders led by the enigmatic Elias Koteas, whose members, including characters played by Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette, share an unsettling obsession with the erotic possibilities of car crashes. It’s exactly as wild as it sounds.
This cold, controversial drama explores the intersection of technology, desire, and the human body, making it potentially the most Cronenbergian film ever made.
